The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission (AGFC) has opened its 2026 Regulations Public Input Survey, and your participation is not just a suggestion. This is a necessity to protect our way of life.
It will only take 10 minutes of your day to complete the AGFC Public Input Survey. There are only 12 days left in this important window of opportunity to ensure your voice is heard by the Commission. As an added incentive, the Arkansas Game and Fish Foundation is offering prizes, including sporting goods gift cards, to participants.
Why Arkansas Sportsmen Must Act Now
Our hunting and fishing heritage in Arkansas is under constant review, and right now, we have a critical window to ensure our voices are the loudest in the room. At the Sportsmen’s Alliance, we know that if we don’t speak up, anti-hunting extremists and bureaucratic inertia will decide the future of our woods and waters for us.
Why This Survey Matters Right Now:
- Direct Impact on Regulations: The AGFC is currently proposing a major overhaul to simplify deer season structures and eliminate over 65 redundant regulations for 2026. Your feedback directly informs which of these changes the Commission adopts.
- Scientific Management Support: These surveys provide the “human” data that complements biological research. By sharing your field observations on turkey populations, duck counts, or fish habitat, you help ensure that AGFC management plans are based on reality, not just models.
- Defending Against Restrictions: Every year, proposals arise that could limit access or add unnecessary red tape. This survey is your formal “notice and comment” opportunity to push back against over-regulation before it becomes law.
- Improving Public Access: Past survey results have led to tangible wins for us, including new bank-angling access points and better-maintained WMAs.
Protect the Legacy of the “Boots on the Ground”
We cannot afford to let others dictate how we hunt and fish. Don’t forget to share this important email with your fellow sportsmen. Urge them to complete the AGFC survey and unite with you and the Sportsmen’s Alliance to ensure the commission answers to us, the boots on the ground. The legacy of hunting, fishing, and trapping depends on our actions today.
The Sportsmen’s Alliance guarantees hunting, fishing and trapping for the American sportsman now and forever. We’re there when sportsmen need us most. We are the only organization specifically created to protect the individual hunter, angler and trapper – no matter the threat. We will never compromise when it comes to defending our way of life in the courts, in the legislatures, in the public square and at the ballot box. We make this promise to the American sportsman: we will never give up and never give in while proudly securing our future against those seeking to destroy our values, beliefs, and traditions.
